Hey Michael,
Yes, there is good and bad! I read an interesting book once which talked about how parents are driven to get their genes out, and so, on a primal level, having lots of children is a great thing for them. Children, on the other hand, see each new sibling, on a primal level, as competition for limited resources. So they're not so enthusiastic about each new sibling who comes along!
You were the only boy with three sisters? Poor you! My grandmother had eight sisters in her family and one brother. The brother was never called by his real name. He was just always known as "Brother." I still don't know what his real name was!
Thanks for your visit!
Lisa
